Effects of MMF exposure on microstructure and of biomechanical properties of callus during fracture healing. A Representative 3 D dimensional images from Micro-CT scanning in fractured tibia. B Representative longitudinal sections of 3D-dimensional reconstructed calluses. C Quantitative analysis of structural parameters of fracture calluses, including bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N) and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), in fracture calluses. D Structural mechanics properties, including ultimate load, ultimate displacement, stiffness, and bending energy absorption, and material properties, including ultimate stress, ultimate strain, elastic modulus, and toughness were calculated via the three-point bending test. n = 8. Data represent the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001
